China has announced its policy of providing free vaccines to its citizens. It also revealed that 4.5 million people were beaten before the authorities’ approval. Correspondent Kang Seong-woong reports from Beijing. China began vaccination on the 15th of last month in the name of blocking COVID-19 in winter. It’s been 15 days before we received conditional approval from the authorities at the end of last year. About 3 million people were vaccinated, averaging 200,000 people a day in about 10 regions, including Guangdong and Sichuan. When we added 1.5 million people who were affected in the early stages of vaccine development, 4.5 million people received the vaccine. The Chinese authorities explained that safety was demonstrated through this process. Vaccination will be faster in China, which aims to vaccinate 50 million people by New Year’s Day next month. Taking into account the fact that antibodies must be administered twice every three weeks, the required number of vaccinations is 100 million. It is estimated that this month alone there should be around 3 million people per day. The Chinese government has completed vaccination training and says production will be sufficient. The state pharmaceutical company Sinopharm said it would increase its annual vaccine production capacity to 1 billion doses this year. It will increase more than 8 times in a year, but when mass production begins, the price of the vaccine is expected to drop significantly. The Chinese government has said it will vaccinate its citizens for free. With the introduction of a free vaccination policy following the initial approval of the vaccine, China’s quarantine is expected to gain momentum. However, in the first place, the high-risk group is scheduled to be vaccinated, so the full effect is expected to manifest only in the second half of the year.
